Overview

Package provider that uses gdebi to install a Debian package (.deb) file with its dependencies

Module Description

The dpkg provider can also install a package from a .deb file, but it will not install any needed dependencies first.

The apt provider can install a package and its dependencies, but the package must be fetched from a repository, not a local .deb file.

The gdebi provider fills this gap.

Setup

What gdebi affects

  • Installs the 'gdebi-core' package.
  • Installs any requested pakage along with its dependencies.

Usage

include gdebi

package { 'foo':
    provider => gdebi,
    source   => "/path/to/foo.deb",
}

Limitations

Compatible with Ubuntu and Debian.

Development
